The Taylor GS Mini Mahogany top packs the voice of a full-size guitar into a fun, compact size at an affordable price.

The Taylor GS Mini Mahogany is the ultimate musical companion, wherever you go — or stay. Inspired by the big, bold sound of Taylor's Grand Sypmhony body shape, the Mini scales things down without skimping on sound, packing lots of tone into a comfortable size and giving you a guitar that's incredibly fun to play.

Compared to the Baby Taylor, the GS Mini Mahogany has a bigger, deeper body, longer scale length, and a bigger soundhole, which together yield incredible volume and a level of tonal richness that’s comparable to a full-scale guitar without compromising portability. Think of it as a modern-day parlor guitar, perfect for playing around the house but also built to fit an active lifestyle, yet with a voice that’s big enough to be a player’s primary guitar.

The Taylor GS Mini Mahogany features a solid tropical mahogany top with layered sapele back and sides. The mahogany top delievers a rootsier sound than a spruce top. The GS Mini Mahogany is constructed with X-bracing featuring their patented relief rout. This is Taylor’s original X pattern, featuring scalloped braces. The “X” provides a continuous flow of strength from the upper bout to the lower bout, which provides rigidity in spite of the soundhole’s location in the middle of the soundboard. The patented relief rout is a tone-enhancing voicing technique in which a groove is carved along the inside edges of the top. This groove is similar in function to the re-curve on a violin — it “loosens up” the edges of the top, generating extra flexibility without sacrificing structural integrity. Taylor first began using this groove in 2002. The result is increased bass and volume with a balanced tone.

The GS Mini Mahogany also features Taylor’s patented NT neck and other enhanced aesthetic details, including an inlaid rosette, top purfling, and a pickguard. The Taylor GS Mini Mahogany is also prefitted for a proprietary magnetic soundhole pickup, the Taylor ES-Go, which can be purchased as an after-market add-on and can easily be installed by anyone in minutes. Includes Taylor GS Mini Hardbag.

THIS IS A GREAT GUITAR SMALLER THAN A DREADNAUGHT WHICH SOME FOLKS CHILDREN AND SOME GIRLS IS HARD TO PLAY THIS IS A BIT SMALLER AND FUN TO PLAY AS WELL AS EASY TO PLAY BOB TAYLOR HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD WITH THIS ONE GREAT GUITAR!!!!!

Caution! i've read many reviews and watched many videos before purchasing this guitar. A common belief about this guitar is that it has great sound projection. That is true, FOR A TRAVEL GUITAR. If you're jamming with a couple other guitars, and they're full sized, they will easily drown this out. Besides this I have no complaints. I didn't necessarily get this guitar to jam with others. I got it to play at home in my apartment and for that it's perfect.
